A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER
(The above suggestion meets with the hearty approval of ^several of the members with whom we have spoken since receiving the above communi¬ cation. It is going to be a difficult matter to keep any club in operation during the next few yeara nnless it is operated^for the promotion of war activities. The editor of the Review does not like to agitate this too stren¬ uously because of his activity in the War Camp Community Service work, bnt we do feel, as a member of the club, that action in thia line if brought up by the Board of Directors would have almost unanimous approval. Such a proposition would not neces- ¦arily prevent the use of the rooms for other war actrvitiee and we coald arge a namber of others to become members of the clab, at least for the period of the war, for the purpose and privilege of regularly contribut¬ ing toward the work.
This, too, would give us the oppor- t«nity of arranging for regular dance.s for our guests, under proper supervision, as is now being done at Jamaica, Richmond Hill and Flush¬ ing. In Richmond Hill, for instance, the Republican Clab have generously given up their new club house to the work of the War Camp Community Service, and illustrating the fraternal feeling e.xisting (it is noted that the president of the club in charge is an active Democrat.—Ed.)
The new recreation hall and swim¬ ming pool at the north gate. Camp -Mills, is about to bo opened by the Nassau and Queens War Camp Com¬ munity Service. I flnd that a great many books, Action preferably, will be needed to fill our library shelves.
May I take the liberty of asking you, as head «f your local War Camp Community Service Committee, to in- augrurate a campaig^i for the collec¬ tion of books in your community to help fill this most urgent need. Fraternally yours, F. HOWARD COVEY, Director, War Camp Community Ser¬ vice, Nassau and Queens.
P. S.—I should appreciate* your notifying me as soon as any books have been collected, when I will take steps to have them delivered to the recreation hall. Onr Women in the Canteen Work

bravado in order to patch up the mar riage and so get his pay for the ab¬ duction, played the part of a marquis disguised as a mason, and wrote such extravagant love letters to the girl that when her lover tired of seeking adventure came back in beggar's clothes she knew that she loved him even without romance.

The Liberty Girls have been plan¬ ning for some time to entertain the nurses at the base hospital in Mine¬ ola, and, if there are automobiles which can go for the nurses, they will have them at the Freeport Clnb for the play.
The Liberty Girls were pleased when Mrs. Arthur Davisson asked them to help tag day. Since they are organized for patriotic work, they are glad to have the work fumished them and this sort of work is obviously helpful.

Crowder Calls Out
Youths of 21 Years
Washington, Aagust 14—Registra¬ tion on Saturday, August 24, of all youths who have reached the age of 21 since the second registration on June 5 was ordered today by Provost Marahal General Srowder, under the proclamation by the President. The purpose is to add quickly to the al¬ most exhausted Class 1 to meet Army draft calls in September.
About J50,000 young men will reg¬ ister. Most of them will qualify for Clasq 1 and therefore will join the Army probably within a month after their names are recorded.
Telegraphic orders to local authori¬ ties to arrange for the registration have already been distributed. Presi dent Wilson's proclamation excepts the territpries of Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico from the registration, but a later day will be fixed for these. Only men in the armed service are ex¬ empt from registration. ¦
It was pointed put at the Provost Mrashal General's ofBce that this reg¬ istration would be entirely dfstinct from the registration that will be ne¬ cessary shortly when the draft ages are extended and it also was an¬ nounced that the suggested date, Sep¬ tember 5, would not be the day for the registration of men from 18 to 45, even if Congress passes the bill in time, because several of the largest States in the Union hold primary el¬ ections on that day.
The Provost Marshal has no inten¬ tion, it waa said, of creating regis¬ tration dates for men reaching 21 throughout the year, but the present registration was made necessary by the approaching deficiency of man power.

See G. S. B. Ferry Co. adv. General Barnett says: "A discon-
AdT«TUs*m«Bt j tented army is an inefflti^t one no matter whether that discontent is dae to poor food, clothing or other caus¬ es." The farmer may nqt be able to help out on the "other causes," but he is doing his best to make an efficient army by providing the food and cloth¬ ing.
Patriotic League Active The work of the Patriotic Leagae is progressing all the time. Every¬ one is invited to look into the kinder¬ garten room of the school to s.e the things which the girls have collected and made. There is a large table pUed high with clothing which is warm uid .only partly worn. This will be sent to France through the American Com¬ mittee for the Allies and the fund for the French wounded. There are also many new garments which the girl. have made themselves. The girls are making a patched quilt of cotton pieces, one ot woolen pieces and one of knitted squares. They are also making bags of various kinds for the soldiers. At the meetings Monday af¬ temoon nearly every girl has some¬ thing new made to offer or some piec¬ es, some tinfoil or .some old kid gloves. The work is carried on with as much earnestness a.s older people could wish and all of it so far has been done without spending any money because the cloth and clothes have been given by the older women. Everyone helps everyone else in war time. Canning The Patriotic Club i.s i;ow havmg a real opportunity for its members. Miss Fisher of the Farm Bureau from Mineola comes down Tuesday after¬ noons to give lessons m canning and tho.'je who go are very enthusia<^tic over their products and the knowledge they gain.

A CONTRIBUTING MEMBER
(The above suggestion meets with the hearty approval of ^several of the members with whom we have spoken since receiving the above communi¬ cation. It is going to be a difficult matter to keep any club in operation during the next few yeara nnless it is operated^for the promotion of war activities. The editor of the Review does not like to agitate this too stren¬ uously because of his activity in the War Camp Community Service work, bnt we do feel, as a member of the club, that action in thia line if brought up by the Board of Directors would have almost unanimous approval. Such a proposition would not neces- ¦arily prevent the use of the rooms for other war actrvitiee and we coald arge a namber of others to become members of the clab, at least for the period of the war, for the purpose and privilege of regularly contribut¬ ing toward the work.
This, too, would give us the oppor- t«nity of arranging for regular dance.s for our guests, under proper supervision, as is now being done at Jamaica, Richmond Hill and Flush¬ ing. In Richmond Hill, for instance, the Republican Clab have generously given up their new club house to the work of the War Camp Community Service, and illustrating the fraternal feeling e.xisting (it is noted that the president of the club in charge is an active Democrat.—Ed.)
The new recreation hall and swim¬ ming pool at the north gate. Camp -Mills, is about to bo opened by the Nassau and Queens War Camp Com¬ munity Service. I flnd that a great many books, Action preferably, will be needed to fill our library shelves.
May I take the liberty of asking you, as head «f your local War Camp Community Service Committee, to in- augrurate a campaig^i for the collec¬ tion of books in your community to help fill this most urgent need. Fraternally yours, F. HOWARD COVEY, Director, War Camp Community Ser¬ vice, Nassau and Queens.
P. S.—I should appreciate* your notifying me as soon as any books have been collected, when I will take steps to have them delivered to the recreation hall. Onr Women in the Canteen Work

bravado in order to patch up the mar riage and so get his pay for the ab¬ duction, played the part of a marquis disguised as a mason, and wrote such extravagant love letters to the girl that when her lover tired of seeking adventure came back in beggar's clothes she knew that she loved him even without romance.
The program as arranged is as fol¬ lows:
Sylvette, "The Dreamy Girl with the .\zure Soul;" Marie Milbank.
Percinet, "Is he not spiritual;" Dor¬ othy Gould.
Pasquinet, father of Sylvette, "He won't do it, it would cort too much; papa is a little close;" Evelyn SchncU.
Begamin, father to Percinet, "It was I invented this admirable hat¬ red;" Marion. Seaman.
Straforel, Bill for pretended abduc¬ tion, costume injured 10 francs, dig¬ nity, 40; Edna Schluter.
Blaise, faithful gardener of two masters; Lucy Woods.

Musician, Helen Kremelberg.
The Liberty Girls have been plan¬ ning for some time to entertain the nurses at the base hospital in Mine¬ ola, and, if there are automobiles which can go for the nurses, they will have them at the Freeport Clnb for the play.
The Liberty Girls were pleased when Mrs. Arthur Davisson asked them to help tag day. Since they are organized for patriotic work, they are glad to have the work fumished them and this sort of work is obviously helpful.
